How To Make Money With ClickBank In 2026 – a Beginner’s Guide

Last Updated on 16th October 2026

If you’re interested in affiliate marketing and are wondering how to make money with ClickBank then the chances are you may have already tried to promote some offers on the platform but have not had much success.

ClickBank is often the first place newbies go when they begin affiliate marketing. However, with little or no online marketing skills it can be very difficult to make money with the offers.

They then take to the forums to complain that it’s not possible to make money on ClickBank as an affiliate.

The real problem is they’re lacking the know-how to bring in the bucks.

If this is you then don’t worry, you’re not alone. I was also once in your shoes, but I figured it out.

While it’s not my main online income stream anymore, I still promote ClickBank offers today and earn an average of $100 – $200 per day on this platform.

In this post, I will tell you exactly what works when it comes to making money with this platform. I explain how to choose the right offers, how to bring the traffic, and the best ways to get them to convert into sales.

What Is ClickBank

ClickBank is a digital marketplace for affiliates and product owners to meet and do business.

In a nutshell, they provide a platform for product owners to house their products where they can be easily found by affiliate marketers who may want to promote them.

When you first sign up for an account you will be asked to either register as an affiliate or as a vendor.

While it is free to register as an affiliate, there is a charge for product owners when they create an account.

This article will focus on how to make money with ClickBank as an affiliate as this is by far the easier route to take.

In many cases, the product owners you find on ClickBank first started making money online as an affiliate and then moved into product creation later.

Most commonly, you can find products to promote such as eBooks, video courses, audio downloads, and software. However, you can also find some physical products like supplements and cosmetics.

Is ClickBank Trusted

Yes, ClickBank is one of the longest-established online marketplaces with hundreds of thousands of affiliates using it.

While you can promote a wide range of products through this platform, they are primarily known for its huge range of educational products across a large number of niches.

To give you an idea of the size of the company, ClickBank has a yearly sales revenue of close to a quarter-billion dollars.

According to BusinessWire, more than 30,000 ClickBank transactions are created on a daily basis across more than 190 countries.

It’s fair to say they’re a pretty big player in the industry.

Pros & Cons of ClickBank

Personally, I really like ClickBank. They were the first affiliate network I ever signed up with back in 2012 and they’re still one of my primary revenue sources today.

As an affiliate, it’s super simple to get started, you can sign up quickly and start promoting offers straight away and you don’t need approval to promote the vast majority of products, unlike many other networks.

Here is my ClickBank pros and cons list:

How Much Money Can You Make With ClickBank?

So, can you make money on ClickBank, and how much can you make?

The amount of money you can make depends on things like your experience, skill level as a marketer, which products you choose, and how you promote them.

Some people only make a few sales here and there, while others make hundreds of dollars per day.

It is absolutely possible to make $200+ per day as an affiliate with the ClickBank platform. I know from personal experience.

I have also had the occasional day where I’ve made over $500 on this platform. There are also people out there who make far more money with ClickBank than I do.

Please bear in mind that it is not reasonable to expect this level of income from ClickBank straight away if you are a newbie.

It will take you some time to learn what offers to convert the best in your niche and how to promote them.

When promoting any affiliate offer, it all boils down to three main parts:

1. Product
2. Traffic
3. Conversion

Each one of these parts is a skill that you will need to learn.

The first skill is learning to recognize good products and how to choose ones that are right for your audience. This is an easy skill to master, by far the easiest of the three parts.

I will go into detail on how you can master this skill in the next section below.

The second part is the traffic. This is arguably the most important job of an affiliate.

Why is it most important?

Because the product vendor will have done a considerable amount of work (and also likely spent a lot of money) making sure their products convert well. All you need to do is get the right eyeballs to see the product.

That’s not to say affiliate marketers do not need to understand conversion, which brings me to the third party.

Some of the most effective ways to promote affiliate products are by using pre-sell pages, bridge pages, and funnels, which I will go into detail about later in this article.

On these pages, it’s your job to warm up your audience and create enough curiosity, intrigue, or desire to click on your affiliate links. The better you are at this part the more products you will sell.

Being able to track exactly where your sales are coming from is also very important if you want to be able to scale your affiliate income.

ClickBank will allow you to add a tracking ID to your affiliate links. However, if you want to have above-average success as an affiliate then I highly recommend using more advanced link tracker software.

That way you will not only be able to get more analytics on your traffic, you will also be able to test out multiple offers at once to see which ones work the best for you.

How To Choose Good Products On ClickBank

One of the most important pieces of the puzzle to get right is choosing good products to promote.

While there are a lot of great products in the marketplace, there are also a lot of crap ones too.

If you choose the wrong product for your target audience or one that just doesn’t convert well then you will not make much money.

When scouring the marketplace for a product you want to sell, you first need to know what the different ClickBank metrics are.

Don’t worry, they’re pretty simple to understand and there are only a few of them. Take a look at the box below.

Product Research

In my opinion, besides using the above metrics to choose your products, it is also important to learn to recognize what kind of products will sell well and why. This is largely based on the product’s landing page.

Here’s a method you can use to learn to recognize the best offers.

1. To start with, go onto the ClickBank marketplace and click the ‘advanced search’ button.
